Hallo, das hat mich letztes Jahr gestört. Nach ein paar Ratschlägen kann ich die Sofas nicht mehr unterschieben, so dass am Rand eine Lücke entsteht, in der sich das Wasser sammelt. Mein einziger Gedanke ist, einen oder zwei Eimer darunter zu stellen?
Ich dachte nur, ich poste mal, da ich nicht der Einzige sein kann, dem das auf die Nerven geht 😂

Put something solid in the middle so it creates a high point?
I’m not sure what is looks like underneath, but thin wood under the cover and make a slope, with bricks under the legs on one side?
Store them at a slight angle. The water should run off
any rounded edge 4 or so inches high in the middle
Football in the middle under it. You want something softish in case it blows over/off.
Put a broom handle or washing line pole or hoover tubes or a cane with a bottle on or a really long pencil (see Keswick Pencil museum for inspo) or a medium sized child underneath in the middle or a high jump pole cut into 1/3rd
Even if you prop up the middle it’s still going to sag and collect around the edges. My only thought is intentional hole at the lowest point,attach a pipe or something so it directs the water down and away ( like those you see on Tesco etc catching the water from the roof)
Invest in covers and clean your gutter s
We bought a table and chairs last year. I bought a cover. It either filled with water or blew off.
This year I have stacked the chairs in the shed but there’s no room to get in and out. The table is covered.
Anything uneven just doesn’t work in my experience.
My question is though, does it matter? Is it leaking where it is pooled? Otherwise can you just ignore it?
Put your sofa in the front garden and bring the garden furniture into the living room.
Poke it with a stick.
I’d suggest putting something under there to create a run off but we did that last year. We found that animals, we think Cats used it as a tent over winter.
When we took the cover off in the spring, there was sick and poop everywhere on the table and chairs, took ages to clean up. 😂
No offense to you, but this really doesn’t require an engineering degree to solve
